Very beautiful and finely-executed eleven-inch
dial of the earliest Ripon eight-day clock,
signed 'George Mills de Ripon',
made to the best London standards and style
of the day. Minute numbers within the engraved
track are a very early feature. Original
hands. Date 1690s. Note the four-leaf clover
winding squares. Half hour markers a variant
on the trident pattern.click to return to article
